Something doesn't seem right there because NTSC is usually 720x480 and 29.97 fps. The screenshot in the first post even looks like a 720x576 frame containing 720x480 video. Please try again:
  1. Open TV Server configuration.
  2. Go to the settings for the tuner.
  3. Set video standard to NTSC_M.
  4. Set frame rate to 29.97.
  5. Set frame size to "720x480 NTSC ITU-601 D1 (recommended)".
  6. Go to the "manual control" section.
  7. Click "stop service"... then "start service".
  8. Try to view the channel in MediaPortal again.
Steps 6 and 7 are really important.

If the above settings don't work then please post new log files from the TV server.



Hi, will try, just a clarification, my country is PAL B, I should set to PAL_B and 25fps right?

    Yep. :)
    If it is PAL B then I recommend to try PAL_B + 720x576 + 25 fps. However, it seems you were already using 720x576 and 25 fps, so that is why I suggested to try NTSC values. In any case, usually the settings should be for PAL or NTSC rather than a mixture like you seemed to have before. :)

    Just for everyone's info. Last night I had some problems after removing all channels and scanning using antenna instead. After that I kept having problems with audio/video not found in client. After restarting the server, no more flickering bottom. So I guess I should use antenna instead.

    Looks like there's some kind of error regarding translations that I can't pinpoint about Subcentral. You'll find it in the log file I attached to my previous message. I don't understand it because I use MP in english, I search for subtitles in english and not in my native language, so I can't figure out what's translation got to do...

    Many many years ago, I opened a bug report after I got that same message but I never got a reply. The reason was I had unchecked the Windows Media Player item in Windows 10 Control Panel > Program and Features > Turn Windows features on or off as I didn't need it, without thinking that it was needed by MediaPortal. I kept the "Media...
